Professional Home Inspection Services

When buying a home, I offer you greater peace of mind and clarity on your purchase with a pre-purchase home inspection. For sellers, I help to ensure a smooth transaction with maximum return with a pre-listing home inspection. Additional services include new construction inspections and 11th-month home warranty inspections.

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspections from On Target Home Inspections

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Home Inspection

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. I'll even help you become familiar with the property.

Pre-Listing (Seller's) Home Inspection

Sometimes selling your home can be just as much of a roller coaster as buying one. Getting a pre-listing home inspection can help ensure a quick and smooth transaction. You can enter the selling process with confidence that there won't be any nasty surprises. You'll also avoid delays, which could last for weeks or even months.

New Construction Home Inspections from On Target Home Inspections

New Construction Inspections

Unfortunately, new does not always mean perfect. In fact, new doesn't even guarantee good. Material defects and human error during the construction process can lead to expensive problems later on. A new construction home inspection can help identify these problems early, when they're cheaper to fix. Some issues may even be covered under warranty.

Home Warranty Inspections from On Target Home Inspections

11th-Month Home Warranty Inspections

Don't release your builder from their warranty until you've had your home thoroughly examined by an experienced inspector. An end of home warranty inspection is a great opportunity to fix problems from faulty workmanship or materials — problems the builder should be accountable for. Many items I find are difficult to notice and could become a major safety or financial concern over time, leaving you to deal with the mess.

A Standard Home Inspection Includes:

Interior

  • Plumbing

    Check faucets and showers, looking for visible leaks as well as testing water pressure. Identify the types of pipes used, if visible. Identify the location of the main water shutoff valve.

  • Electrical

    Identify the type of wiring, test all outlets and make sure there are GFCIs installed where needed to protect from electrical shock. Inspect the electrical panel for safety issues and fire hazards.

  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

    Determine the approximate age of the furnace and air conditioner, whether or not they function properly, and possibly recommend repairs or maintenance.

  • Water Heater

    Determine the approximate age of the water heater and check for proper installation. I can also determine the condition and possibly give an estimated remaining life span of the unit.

  • Laundry Room

    Check for proper ventilation. A poorly ventilated dryer exhaust can be a serious fire hazard.

  • Fire Safety

    Test smoke detectors and ensure that the garage wall, if present, has the proper fire rating and is undamaged. Also check the fireplace for proper installation and maintenance.

  • Bathrooms

    Check for visible leaks, properly secured toilets, proper ventilation to prevent moisture related issues, and more.

  • Attic

    If possible, check for structural damage and proper ventilation. Also check insulation and ensure that nothing is ventilated directly into the attic, such as the bathroom.

Exterior

  • Exterior Walls

    Check for damaged or missing siding, cracks, and excessive soil contact which can be an invitation for pests.

  • Foundation

    Check for possible foundation failure, indicated by cracks or settling.

  • Grading

    Check to ensure that the ground slopes away from the house, which prevents water from entering the house or causing damage to the foundation.

  • Roof

    If accessible and visible, check for roof damage or poor installation that may allow for water penetration as well as checking the condition of the gutters.

  • Garage

    Test the garage door for proper functionality, check for proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and check for risks of explosion from ignition sources too close to the floor.

Do you have unanswered questions? Or are you ready to schedule your inspection? Either way, I look forward to hearing from you.
